Knitting post

Over the last 12 weeks, knitting has been the one thing to keep me sane. For the first six weeks, I wasn't working, so I just sat at home and knit. Well, cried and knit. Anything to keep me from pulling my hair out. So, I've ended up burning through my stash (plus some new yarn purchases) and creating a whole new fall wardrobe. Some of the projects that have kept me busy (obviously, these are not my photos. Maybe someday, I'll get around to posting my actual project photos, but don't hold your breath):

Snowy Triangle Scarf from "Handknit Holidays"2 (1 for me, 1 for a friend to be named later)On the one for me, I used the lovely Artfibers Satori yarn that Mel gave me last year for my birthday

Knitting (and a bit of crochet) has been very therapuetic for me through all of this. I guess I've felt that so much of my life has been out of control lately, and one thing I can control is what I produce with yarn and two sticks (or a hook).

Um, I knew you were knitting in volume, but dang! You're talking multiple entire sweaters here! I'm so happy you used the Satori, mine is still sitting in the stash waiting to be used. What a great pattern too! I can't wait to see the cable 8 in cork, that must look fabulous.
